Spaghetti Sauce 

Spaghetti Sauce 

A crowd-pleaser for all ages, this classic spaghetti sauce is thick, meaty and, most importantly,  perfectly coats each strand of spaghetti. Garlic, tomato and ground beef are the foundation of this simple sauce, and a mix of dried fennel seeds and herbs adds savory depth. Red wine and a bit of sugar bring out the sweetness of the tomato. The flavors of the sauce intensify with time, so feel free to make it in advance, refrigerate and reheat later. The sauce also freezes well so you can have it on hand for future meals. Don’t tell spaghetti, but this sauce is also delicious layered in a lasagna or stirred into a cheesy baked pasta dish.
